Unofficial Updater # 2 Thead

FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT UPDATE THEIR GAME IN NORMAL WAY

This updater and all the future versions are released under GPL version 2

Always download the latest version, scroll down for newer versions.

THE PATCHER DOES NOT MODIFY ANY OF YOUR GAME FILES. YOU STILL UPDATE USING YOUR UPDATER.EXE FILE. NO PARTS OF GAME ARE ALTERED BY ME. THEY ARE MODIFIED BY UPDATER.EXE. WHICH IS THE INTENDED USE OF UPDATER.EXE

But if AGE still looks at it as violation of ToS, A GM can contact me, and I'll remove all the information.

Note - Each newer version is aimed to make the process simpler and more automated.
But remember making it automated also increases the chances of getting errors. So we will try to fix those in next versions.

So, here

Version # 0.1
created by morroc

Pros:

If you follow the steps carefully, greater chance that you will not have to re download or redo any of the steps.

Good for people with unstable connections, who might need the feature to resume the downloads.

Cons:

Manual Work.

Complex Process.

If you are getting timeout error on Updater, then you can try this alternate way of updating your game.
In this you are going to download the update files manually and then patch the game using a local server.
This is much more reliable and less painful when there are large updates

Unzip the file, and find README.txt file in there. Follow the instructions in it and you should be able to update your game.

I've put my best effort in making the instructions as easy as possible, but it's a complex process.
So just read it carefully while performing the steps.
It takes only 5 minutes, if you remove download time of the patches.

Why should you use it?

No more re-downloading the patches, when your updater times out!

You can use download manager to download files. So resume download is available.

You can re-upload the patch files for your friends, so they can patch it easily.

All 3 steps effectively reduce the server load when a large patch comes out!

I tried and failed

First off, thanks for the information. However, I tried it following step by step with version 2.0 (2.1 had corrupted files that winzip wouldn't extract) and when I got to the update part by running shaiya update the application still timed out. The HFS app ran but the indicator at the bottom was at 1% and the updater timed out. I have shaiya version 55 as installed from aeria games downloader. Any other help would be greatly appreciated.
